  • Abstract
    A multiphase clock is used to measure time intervals. The scheme consists of a main counter and digital verniers for start and stop. The system time resolution is limited by the intrinsic resolving time of the circuits rather than the clock rate. A 7 phase clock of ~28.57 MHz can measure time to 2.5 nsec accuracy with T2L type circuits.
